nozzle. The insert has higher density and strength, and lower porosity than the surrounding material. This improves dimensional stability and resistance to erosion and corrosion. These automotive knock sensors contain a small piezo element which, when combined with an FET-amplifier, helps adjust timing

This is an unprecedented level of
pointing precision on a spacecraft of this size that will be accomplished through a
two-stage control system: reaction wheels for coarse attitude control and a piezo stage for fine pointing control.

Furthermore,
for some frequencies (e.g., above 5 kHz), the vibrations of
the piezo stage are not accurately modeled and therefore, the
inversion of the model may be inaccurate�leading to actuation
of high-frequency vibrations in the piezo-stage.

The effect of sliding velocity on friction force was
monitored under ambient conditions using a high-velocity piezo stage designed for
achieving high relative sliding velocities on a commercial AFM setup [10].

Furthermore, for some
frequencies (e.g., above 5 kHz), the vibrations of the piezo stage arenot accurately modeled and therefore, the inversionof
the model may be inaccurate - leading to actuation of high-
fbquency vibrations in the piezo-stage.
